Abstract:
This paper is part of a broader enquiry into three main models (or concepts)
of individual, which appear in philosophical and legal discourse: the Reasonable
Person, the Biased Nudged Human, the Homo OEconomicus (or the Economic Rational
Man), The overall research aims to clarify the differences and similarities between such
models as used by the relevant classical literature. The general purpose of the research
is mainly to understand whether these models overlap or resemble each other and, if
so, to what extent. The paper focuses on the theses that: (i) that the different literatures
concerned with these models of individual should be confronted more critically and,
in particular, a closer dialogue between studies concerning reasonableness and nudging
should be fruitful; (ii) a significant distance exists between the legal uses of these models
and their use in theoretical and philosophical speculation. This is particularly true with
regard to the Reasonable Person and the Homo OEconomicus concepts. Although legal
scholars refer to them, such references are often nothing more than embellishments. In
many instances, they import concepts and conceptions from other fields of investigation
or literature by making a spurious and superficial analogy
